Once upon a time… or let’s phrase it like this: Do you remember my Christmas market? It was on the 16th of December. So it was more than four months ago that I promised to sew a wallet for my co-worker Diana.

I am so sorry, it took me so long. Thank you for all your patience! xo

Her order was to be a pink version, fabrics to be picked personally from my stash. Finding a date for that took a while but finally happend on the 29th of January. And the pink idea went down the drain as she decided on a grey outside but colorful inside. Isn’t it fun to see that tiny sneak peak of the color?

At first I was not convinced. But I love the result. Come take a look for yourself:

She picked a turquoise solid (Kona cotton) for the main interior. And two fabrics for the dividers. One pink „Diving Board“ Alison Glass and one black-and-white with stars (sorry no fabric info).

The inside, small zipper is grey like the outside. The outside zipper is a wide version in white-metallic. It looks fancy and sofisticated with the grey outside fabric. Btw it is a plastic version. It is still a pain in the… to sew together but I would definitely not do it with a metal one.

If you are interested in sewing your own, you can find the pattern here. It is in German; no idea if it was ever translated to English.

So finally a project to cross of my WIP list. Such a great feeling :)

Hope you are all having fun and making progress! Best wishes
